I know this has probably been discussed at length already, but I would also like to throw my own .02 in here about the main gameplay change from the original: 1 entrance per kingdom. It seems to me, that it not only limits the number of strategies, but makes luck (the roll of the dice) incredibly important in the game. If you luck out and capture a large bonus from your kingdom in the first few rounds compared to your opponents, that's a giant advantage. Since there's only one way to expand, all can do in the first few rounds is grab that bonus and then break out of the kingdom.

1 Small problem though:The legend has a small error with the coloring of the Tri-Feudal border. The legend makes it look as if the Feudal 10 border is a part of the Tri area.

1 Large problem though:1 entrance per realm? Please say it ain't soooo. Idk how you could make it two entrances with the current setup though....I won't bother going further into that, because in as much as I can tell it has been thoroughly canvassed by the other fans of the Feudal War map.

Just a thought for the new map (or maybe the next one...hint hint ) : anyway, could you make it so that if you lose your Castle, you are eliminated and all your troops go Neutral? (think of it as in Feudal times, the castle has fallen, the King is dead and all the King's armies are loose upon the land). Would make protecting your Castle that much more important and impact strategies greatly.

Great job thus far guys.

It is not currently possible with the XML feature we have. Although it is definetly something worth looking into. Sounds like an ace idea

There is a few reasons for having only one entrance.

In most games of feudal war (the first map) players only tend to use the one breakout point. Rarely do they use the second and when they its commonly when they are in a much stronger position anyway. To gain 2 entrances for a castle I would have to reduce the territory count and redesign the entire layout. I just generally feel that having one entrance isn't as big an issue as people think it is.

I haven't played many games on Fuedal War, but the two breakouts gives a little bit of flexibility when deciding strategy. With just one breakout, the gameplay becomes fairly linear for the early rounds. I'm not really too sure where I sit on this, but some consensus of opinion would definitely help get this map moving
